A

Pubic symphysis, intervertebral discs

32
Q

What are the structural features of plane joints?

A

All synvovial joints contain articular cartilage, a synovial membrane, and a joint cavity filled with synovial fluid.

33
Q

What are the functional movements and classifications of plane joints?

A

Plane joints are diarthroses meaning they allow free movement. Uniaxial, flexion and extension.

34
Q

Location of plane joints

A

Intercarpal, intertarsal, knee (between patella and femur)

37
Q

Location of hinge joints

A

Elbow, knee, interphalangeal

38
Q

42
Q

What are the functional classifications of condylar joints?

A

Condylar are diarthrosis jonts meaning they allow free movement. Biaxial, flexion, extension, abduction and adduction

43

A

Hip and shoulder

50
Q

What are uniaxial movements ?

A

Movements in a single plane

51
Q

What are biaxial movements

A

Move in two planes on axes

52
Q

What are the multiaxial joints?

A

Multiaxial joints move in multiple planes in multiple planes on axes

53
Q

What is the articular capsule of synovial joint composed of?

A

Two layers, an outer fibrous capsule and a inner synovial membrane

54
Q

What is the fibrous capsule composed of?

A

The fibrous capsule is composed of dense connective tissue that is continous with the periosteum of the bone.

55
Q

What is the synovial membrane?

A

The synovial membrane secretes a lubricating fluid that fills the enclosed cavity

56
Q

What does the articular cartilage do in synovial joints?

A

Articular hylaine cartilage covers the surface of the bone within the joint.

57
Q

What are mensci?

A

In the knee - two crescent shaped mensci extend partway across the joint from the medial and lateral sides.

58
Q

What does the mensci do?

A

The mensci will stabilize the knee joint where a great amount of pressure occurs and it also helps to absorb shock.

59
Q

What is the condylar component of knee?

A

The condylar component of the knee joint allows some limited rotation between the articulation of the rounded condyles of the femur and tibia when the knee is in the flexed position.

60
Q

What is the plane joint of the knee?

A

The plane joint between the patellar surface of the femur and the patella. Allows some sliding movements.

61
Q

What is the PCL ligament?

A

Posterior cruciate ligament. It helps to prevent excessive flexion.

62
Q

What is the ACL ligament?

A

The ACL ligament helps prevent hyper extension of the knee joint. A torn ACL is a common type of knee injury.
